Explanation:

 1. Cash A/c Dr $80,000,000  

               To Notes payable A/c $80,000,000  

(Being note is issued for cash)

2. Interest expense A/c Dr $1,600,000

            To Interest payable A/c $1,600,000

(Being accrued interest adjusted)

The computation is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)  

= $80,000,000 × 12% × (2 months ÷ 12 months)

= $1,600,000

The two month is calculated from November 1 to December 31

3.  Interest expense A/c Dr $5,600,000

    Interest payable A/c Dr $1,600,000

= $80,000,000 × 12% × (7 months ÷ 12 months)

= $5,600,000

Out of 9 months the two month is accrued and the remaining is debited to interest expense account
